Hello my darlings,
I've noticed that the fashion now a days is getting way..too..girlie. I do not appreciate that. One of the main reasons being, I don't look good in such clothes. All that lace, bows, empire cuts, frills, flowers - just too over the top!
It wasn't difficult to come across the dress I now speak of. This white, lace dress sold at Topshop (left), is the prototype of what's too girlie out there.
The first thing that came to my mind – Women who are dying to get married, the type that have been fantasizing about their wedding since the day they were born, I've found your cheap alternative to an actual wedding dress, for you to play dress up with. To stand in front of the mirror with your bouquet of plastic flowers, practicing saying “I Do”. To tempt you even more, I'm pleased to announce that the dress is right now on 20% discount! :D
And I right now take pleasure to share with you that the latest thing to hang on the racks is basic, cotton, spaghetti strap tops with "built in" bras! Ladies, it's time to hang loose. I gotta say, kinda like that idea. A bra can be really annoying after wearing it for six continuous hours or so. It gets even more annoying on a very balmy, sunny day.
I can't wait for my next entry, which I swear is a fact - Revenge Of The Ugly Panties. Up next.
I went shopping on Sunday, desperate to find a pair of classic, long, black pants and a classic white, long sleeve shirt (both for work). It was so difficult to find anything like that! It was frills galore, sparkle galore, giant shoulder pads, lycra black pants or tight fitting cotton/lycra pants with giant buttons or waaaayy too many buttons.
What is going on?! I get it, it's the trend now. The 80's are back. Bring on the shoulder pads, the extra frills, the sparkles and sequins, the ridiculously tight pants and lycra pedal pushers. But that's just trend. Trendy things should never make up majority of the market. Classics should always remain, classics should always be the majority of the market.
Trends are something you wear, take a picture, and look back at the picture 10 years down and think "Wow! That sure was a different time."
I can't possibly be filling up my closet with trendy clothes like shoulder padded dresses, sequined or frilly tops. Sure I could have 3 or 4 of them, not more. It's ridiculous that if I want to buy a pair of black jeans or pants now a days, they're "skinny". Don't get me wrong, I'm not fat. I'm actually a size UK 8.
BRING BACK THOSE CLASSICS PLEASE! I know they're out there, but they've become increasingly difficult to find. I've honestly had enough of dresses that look like they've been cut out of table cloths, over-frilling, shoulder pads on every other top or dress, skin tight pants or dresses that look like stuff my grandma used to wear when she was in her 20s.
